Minnesota's bats were especially potent in last night's meeting with the Rangers, as the Twins racked up nine unanswered runs over the first three innings en route to an 11-4 rout. Joe Mauer led Minnesota's onslaught by going 3-for-4 with an RBI and |

He was injured last week in Colorado when he slid head-first into first base while trying to beat a throw. ``No more diving into first,'' Tolbert said. ``We're taught not to dive into first.
